Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the Canadian head of State.

It is said that "the Queen reigns, but does not rule." The Queen, as head of State, exercises most executive functions of government only on the advice of the Canadian prime minister and ministers. Therefore, though the Queen is head of State and is vested with the executive government and authority of Canada (as per s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867), most key decisions rest with the prime minister (the head of Government) who is responsible to the elected House of Commons.
